Automated PeriWatch Category III Tracing Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun checks PeriGen for any tracing that reads Category III, texts the on-call OB physician through Twilio with the room number and pattern, and posts the same alert to your L&D unit's Teams channel so the whole care team knows within moments.
How do I automatically escalate a Category III fetal heart rate tracing?
WebRun watches every live tracing in PeriGen and, the moment one reads Category III, texts the on-call OB physician through Twilio with the room and pattern, then posts the same alert to your L&D unit's Teams channel. The on-call physician and care team both know within moments, every time it happens.
- The on-call OB is texted within moments of any Category III tracing
- The whole L&D unit sees the same alert in Teams, not just one person
- No Category III tracing waits for someone to notice it on a monitor bank
Built for Labor and delivery nurses · OB hospitalists · perinatal patient safety teams · L&D charge nurses

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it text the patient or family?
No. Every alert goes only to the on-call OB physician and the L&D unit's Teams channel. WebRun never messages a patient or family member, and no tracing detail leaves the care team.
What counts as a Category III tracing?
Whatever PeriGen's own classification flags as Category III, using its FDA-cleared analysis of the fetal heart rate and contraction pattern. WebRun reads that classification live. It doesn't make its own diagnosis.
What if the on-call OB doesn't respond to the text?
WebRun retries the page after a few minutes and the Teams post stays visible to the whole unit, so the charge nurse can escalate further if the physician hasn't acknowledged it.
