PubMed Health has been out for a few years now.  This video helped me understand PubMed Health and how it’s different from PubMed, as well as PubMed Health’s utility for Physicians and Clinicians in terms of evidence-based practice and comparative effectiveness for interventions at the point-of-care.

   
The whole point of PubMed Health is:

1)      to help people find systematic reviews on interventions, and
2)      to understand what they find.  

The PubMed Health Collection consists of:

• 40,000 systematic reviews since 2003
• Over 6,000 consumer versions
• 1,000 EBP Clinical Guides [articles] for consumers and clinicians
• 2,000 PubMed Health Glossary entries

To that end, PubMed Health is geared more towards  “public” (rather than professional) searchers; for example,  it works more with keywords and brand names for drugs than MESH.
