Objectives: we investigated on the degree of homogeneity in the employment of some working tools among primary care paediatricians working in the province of Bergamo. Methods: through the compilation of an online questionnaire, we retrospectively evaluated data recorded from February 24 to May 3 2019, by 85 paediatricians. Results: the data analysis showed a larger employment of point of care testing for paediatricians relying on nurses activity (p=0.03), and a lower number of outpatient visits for paediatricians without office staff (p=0.06). A rough doubling in heterogeneity was assessed in the employment of point of care testing when compared to the other working tools (coefficient of variation 0.66 vs. 0.27-0.37). Conclusions: these data address to the worthiness of shared procedures referring to the employment of working tools in paediatric primary care.
