Indicators for Apparent Cause Analysis

Are there specific indicators: eg. level of harm to patient, drug class involved in event, technologies in use, etc. that your organization or practice utilizes to drive cause analysis like ACA? I am looking to put some framework around the kind of events we should sometimes/always consider for deeper analysis. TIA!
