The American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC), the only national credentialing body for holistic nurses, has a responsibility to offer valid, reliable, and rigorous certification examinations and to grow and evolve as indicated by social and professional changes. This article describes four major changes in the work of AHNCC since 2004: a detection of an evolution in the domain of holistic nursing through review of the literature; clarification and specification of levels of practice by educational level; development of the nurse coach role in nursing, designed within the precepts of holistic nursing; and AHNCC's response to the social paradigm shift for health care, and nursing's advanced practice registered nurse consensus model. Each of these is discussed in detail describing the circumstances that perpetuated AHNCC's consideration and the actions taken by AHNCC.
美国整体护理认证委员会（AHNCC）是整体护理领域唯一的全国性认证机构，有责任提供有效、可靠且严格的认证考试，并根据社会和专业的变化不断发展和演进。本文描述了自2004年以来AHNCC工作中的四项主要变化：通过文献回顾发现整体护理领域的演变；按教育水平明确和细化实践水平；在整体护理原则框架内设计护理领域的护士教练角色；以及AHNCC对医疗保健社会范式转变和护理高级实践注册护士共识模式的回应。文中对每一项变化都进行了详细讨论，描述了促使AHNCC进行考量的情况以及AHNCC采取的行动。
