All of Us Researcher Workbench features and updates

• Cohort Builder - We added new features to the Cohort Builder.
  • Has EHR Data - We added a search option for you to create a cohort of participants that have electronic health record (EHR) data. You can exclusively select participants with EHR data rather than all participants. The feature is located in search in the add criteria dropdown menu of the Cohort Builder.
    
  • Funnel plot -The funnel plot feature allows you to view grouping criteria and participant counts based on your cohort inclusion and exclusion criteria. The funnel plot calculates grouping results in descending order from baseline numbers allowing you to visualize the extent the criteria affect the final cohort population. You can access this feature by selecting the funnel plot icon located in the top right-hand corner of search to render the graph.
  • Cloud environment tab - You can view the workspace name associated with your cloud environments and persistent disks from the “Cloud Environments (BETA)” tab of the Researcher Workbench. Read more about storage options.
