Heparin ADE tracking

We are in the middle of defining our heparin ADE metrics.
We were originally looking to capture the rate of heparin infusion patients who experienced a bleed plus those patients who experienced a DVT while on heparin infusion.
However we are finding this to be a difficult capture without a manual review.
I am interested to know what others are doing around an ADE metric for heparin ?
If you are capturing ADEs for heparin what is your definition?
