The American Nurses Association (ANA) recognized nursing informatics as a nursing specialty in 1992, developed the first scope and standards of nursing informatics practice in the mid-1990s, and remains the custodian and steward of each document revision. Over the past two decades, the definition of nursing informatics, scope of practice statement, and framework of the standards of practice have evolved to now include a collection of competencies for the informatics nurse and informatics nurse specialist. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), an ANA subsidiary, created and maintains a nursing informatics certification program that offers a board certification credential to qualified applicants, including international nurse colleagues. Such a certification program is intended to assess and publicly recognize competence of the informatics nurse.
1992年，美国护士协会（ANA）认可护理信息学为一个护理专业领域，在20世纪90年代中期制定了首个护理信息学实践的范围和标准，并一直负责每份文件修订的保管和管理工作。在过去二十年里，护理信息学的定义、实践范围声明以及实践标准框架不断演变，如今已涵盖了信息学护士和信息学专科护士的一系列能力要求。ANA的子机构美国护士认证中心（ANCC）创建并维护了一个护理信息学认证项目，该项目为包括国际护士同行在内的合格申请者提供委员会认证资格。这样一个认证项目旨在评估并公开认可信息学护士的能力。
