Topic: CEN (not ISO) standard on patient involvement???

Anyone heard of this? I learned about it Monday from Mitch Silva in Brussels ... he's about to become one of our newest fans & participants. It's an ISO Working Draft, updated Sept 2018. 777k PDF, 30 pages (body=16 pages, plus cases & 30 refs), attached.
"Patient involvement in person-centred care"
From PDF page 5:
Guiding principle
This document aims to optimize the chances for improvement of health care outcome resulting from the
meeting between the patient and the health care personnel/professionals, because it provides all
involved stakeholders with a set of generic guidance points in order to provide minimum requirements
of patient involvement in health care.Strengthening the persons’ involvement and capacities to self-manage health and prevent illness is
pivotal to policymakers’ attempts to achieve cost-containment with maintained or even improved
quality of health care (2). To reach this goal, a systematic and structured system need to be in place to
facilitates involvement in all steps of the persons' health care journey.
I haven't dug deeper yet but I wonder if we ought to connect with them for any reason. That question is above my pay grade! I would just want to ensure that no ISO standard that gets encased in concrete with an obsolete concept of patient as a passive recipient of services. (But maybe that's not in there.)

CORRECTION OCTOBER 11: I was wrong to call it ISO; I'd been told that, but a wiser person pointed out it's from CEN, not ISO. CEN is apparently a Europe-only standards body.
My interest in the subject remains: to align ALL thinking about patient centricity, to achieve a paradigm. (Which Kuhn defines as agreement among practitioners in a field, without which a field can't advance.)
