Narrative:

During takeoff we received an anti-ice overheat warning after rotation. We were in icing conditions and snow showers. The first officer was flying. I completed the gear up after takeoff and began the QRH procedure for wing overheat. The tower controller switched us to departure. During check on; I realized we hadn't started a turn to 360 (noise abatement) per the departure procedure. I told the departure controller we were still on runway heading. He assigned us direct to an intersection. I completed the QRH and we continued to our destination. I sent ACARS messages to dispatch and maintenance. The wing overheat had been written up multiple times; I made a maintenance write up in our destination. Maintenance deferred wing overheat under the original deferral which would have expired three days in the future. The warning during rotation was a definite distraction; due to the flight conditions; 'we needed anti-ice'. It is becoming normal to have these warnings on the 200 fleet so they have to be repaired properly. I need to keep the departure procedure in mind during such failures. We could have also notified ATC and taken vectors. The company needs to get their aircraft maintenance under control.

Title: CRJ200 flight crew experiences a Wing Overheat Warning message at rotation and the distraction causes the flying First Officer to forget to turn in compliance with the departure procedure. ATC assigns a direct routing and QRH procedures clear up the wing overheat allowing the flight to continue to destination.
