SUMMARY:AI in Practice ECHO Series: Session 5
DESCRIPTION:As AI tools become embedded across the public health sector\, there is a need for grounded\, practical guidance on how to evaluate\, adopt\, and sustain AI tools in a government public health context\, with honest attention to what works and what doesn’t.

Each session pairs a practical didactic framework with a real-world case study from a health department that has navigated the same terrain. The learning series is hosted by the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) and Health Resources in Action (HRiA). \nSessions:\n\n\n\nKnow Where You Stand: AI Readiness & Organizational Capacity\nBuilding Your AI Policy: From Guidance to Practice\nAI in Action: Real Use Cases from Health Departments like Yours\nBuying Smart: Evaluating and Procuring AI Tools\nReaching the People You’re Missing\nBuilding for the Long Term: Sustainability\, Workforce\, and Making the Case to Leadership\n\n\n\nCertification Issuance Criteria\nParticipants must attend 4 out of 6 sessions to receive certificate of completion. \nContact\nmsilverberg@lphi.org
