The Champ Story

Primary links

Champ Software, Inc. offers stability for the future because of our modest-growth strategy. We fund expansion through revenue rather than debt or venture capital. We’ve been here for over 25 years and will continue to provide quality software and support.

Our Roots
David Rosebaugh was employed as a health director near Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1985. The position was part-time, and David pursued computer programming as a hobby. He developed a small software package for his employer, then offered the software to neighboring agencies. Champ acquired a reputation for excellence in software and support, and based on word-of-mouth, sales grew. By 1990 Champ had 36 customers.

David Rosebaugh Spreading Our Wings
David left his position to pursue software development exclusively. He began marketing Champ Software in Wisconsin, and by 1996 had 65 agencies as clients.

Growing Our Team
David hired staff for Windows programming, and shipped a clinical package in 1998 for OASIS mandates.

Building on Our Solid Foundation
Champ is one of the largest community health software vendors in the U.S., with over 100 agencies in the Midwest, West, and South.

"Nightingale Notes is awesome! The nurses "Love It!" This is the first computer program they have done
besides Outlook. By the end of the first month I kept hearing how they love it. They are even pushing
now to get laptops so they can take them in the homes. The time savings and accuracy has already
started. I cannot think of anything that would even make me question doing this again."

"One of our favorite aspects of Nightingale Notes is the fact that we can access the software wherever there
is an internet connection. We love the ability to create custom tabs in NN - a feature we are already using
and plan to use even more in the future"

“Bismarck Burleigh Public Health chose Champ because we were looking for an electronic health record which would fit our needs, programsⁱ and work flow; we did not have to adjust our work process into an
offered structure. We wanted the program to be web based so it worked for all of our programs, including
home health and schools. Our staff wanted to get away from duplicate documentation for charting and
billing. We were also looking for a way to collect outcomes, including for community based programs,
and BBPH found the Omaha System and Nightingale Notes is able to meet all of these needs.”

Paula Flanders, Public Health Director for Bismarck-Burleigh
