It is important to rememeber to add "PrecisionHealthBiobank" under the biobank tab.
Below are screen shots of an example of a cohort query done in the Cohort Discovery Tool as well as simple, step-by-step instructions on how to access the Cohort Discovery Tool:
1) Launch the webpage: https://starr-tools.med.stanford.edu/starr-tools/
2) Double click on "biobank" and make sure PrecisionHealthBiobank is selected. Double click on "diagnosis" and either enter the name of the diagnosis or the ICD diagnosis code. This can also be done to determine number of patient procedures in the Precision Health biobank. If looking for procedural demographics, please make sure to use CPT codes.
