What We're Doing Today - To Help You Tomorrow
    Share Industry Knowledge With Your Peers Easily
Please check out the OmahaSystemFriends web site. It was recently launched and is a great place to share ideas and stay in touch with your industry peers. There's even a place to exchange Pathways for those of you using the Omaha System.

Check back with the site often as new content is continually added.

Where We've Been...
    And Where We're Going
A great big thank you to our friends at Kitsap County in Washington. Rebecca Bedore, and David and Deb Rosebaugh traveled there February 13 - 17th to conduct TouchPoint ClickNotes training and were greeted with a very warm reception.

About 30 people attended the 5 day training session. Kitsap is our newest customer on the west coast and it was a good learning experience for our company. Things on the west coast are done differently than the midwest, so we came back with fresh ideas and perspectives to improve our products even more.

It's important to us to limit your training costs, so we offer several training options. We will come to your site, or a site near you, you can visit us, or we can train you over the Internet using WebEx. For more information on training and customer support at CHAMP, please see check out our web site.

You Asked For It and We Listened
    ClickNotes -Look What We've Done
We try to make our software meet as many of your needs as possible. There are times when we just can't meet them all and having vitals pre-defined that are specific to each agency was a challenge, but we have an option for you. We gave you the option to set up your own vitals when the ones built into the system don't suffice.

From the System menu, select Agency Variables. A Custom Vitals tab displays on the far right of the screen. Click on this tab. Any vital information that needs to be captured is set up here under either the Custom Vitals A or Custom Vitals B column.

An instruction sheet on setting up custom vitals is available on our web site. Please download a copy, or call us with questions.

Quick Look At Other New Features in ClickNotes: ClickNotes Vitals Screen • Now carry forward pre-preg weight and due date • Now pre-filling weight gain • Added 2nd Lung Sounds to Vitals tab • Added Live Births to Antepartum tab • New MCH and Child History tabs and reports ClickNotes Problem Screen • Increased limit on Problem Notes to 500 characters ClickNotes Intervention Screen • Default view coming into this screen is now “selected” interventions • Now permit Notes to be added to pathway Interventions

Meet Our New Software Support Specialist
by Kellie Kopischke   A New Friendly Face at CHAMP Kellie
I am currently attending South Central College in North Mankato, Minnesota, working towards a Networking Services degree. I worked in a clerical/computer support position for a non-profit agency in Mankato for 15 years before coming to CHAMP in May, 2006.

Years ago, I was a nursing assistant and home health aide, while attending Minnesota State University as a pre-nursing student. I have always had an interest in health care, and it has evolved from direct care to now being on the technical side.

After working at the same place for so many years, it was a little scary leaving there and coming to CHAMP. But they have made me feel very much at home, and part of the team. I am especially excited to be able to work in the computer field and also with the health care industry.

I have been married for over 15 years and have two sons, who are 12 and 9. When I am not running to sporting events or band concerts for my kids, or doing homework, I like to read, garden and quilt.

My philosophy about work has always been to work hard, do the best that I can do, and at the end of the day, leave my work at the office; because what life is really about is my commitment to God and family. That philosophy has not always been easy to follow, with expectations and stresses at other jobs. But that is exactly how David and Deb Rosebaugh view things, and that’s how I know this is where I am supposed to be.

Congratulations to Ben Fyvie and Rebecca Bedore
