High-quality Hyphen

Anyone who says there should not be a hyphen in "high-quality health care" does not know what he or she is talking about. "High-quality" is a compound adjective describing "health care" and it requires a hyphen, which helps the reader and removes any hint of ambiguity.

No hyphen. "High" is being used as an adjective. Now, if you were saying "High-speed Internet is preferred over dial-up." then there would be a hyphen. But no hyphen is needed.

YES, you do! "High-quality" is a single-thought adjective. That means that those two words are used together to describe a noun.

I say no unless the facility that receives or sends the material uses that action in the standard working procedures.

No hyphen is necessary.

I wouldn't, because high is an adverb modifying quality.

No, print them as two separate words.
