The second wave of COVID-19 emerged in the late fall months in the state of Massachusetts and inadvertently caused a rise in the number of cases requiring hospitalization. With a field hospital previously opened in central Massachusetts during the Spring of 2020, the governor decided to reimplement the field hospital. Although operations were effectively accomplished during the first wave, the reimplementation of the field hospital came with its new set of challenges for operating a satellite pharmacy. Experiences gathered include new pharmacy operation workflows, the clinical role of pharmacy services, introduction of remdesivir treatment, and pharmacy involvement in newly diagnosed diabetes patients requiring insulin teaching. Pharmacy services were successful in adapting to the rapidly growing number in patients with a total of over 600 patients served in a course of 2 months.
2019冠状病毒病的第二波疫情于深秋时节在马萨诸塞州出现，无意中导致需要住院治疗的病例数增加。鉴于2020年春季曾在马萨诸塞州中部开设过一家野战医院，州长决定重新启用该野战医院。尽管在第一波疫情期间运营取得了成效，但重新启用野战医院给卫星药房的运营带来了一系列新挑战。积累的经验包括新的药房操作流程、药学服务的临床作用、瑞德西韦治疗的引入以及药房参与对新诊断的需要胰岛素教学的糖尿病患者的护理。药学服务成功地适应了患者数量的快速增长，在两个月的时间里共为600多名患者提供了服务。
