laadunvarmistuksen valvontakeskus
Explanation:
Tässä on yksi vaihtoehto. Se noudattelee suomalaista nimeämiskäytäntöä. Valvova instanssi tai viranomainen ei esim. itse suorita rutiinitarkastuksia, jotka kuuluvat osana myös laadunvarmistukseen, vaan tekee esim. yllätystarkastuksia ja muulla tavoin valvoo alempien instanssien toimintaa. Eng-vastineita tällaiselle valvonnalle voisi olla 'supervision, overview, review'

Thank you, Timo. I believe your choice is most accurate. The main function of this center is control, and therefore, the word "valvonta" precisely conveys the intended meaning. Also, I have found some official RT glossaries that use "valvonta" in the said context.
Kiitos paljon.

Laadunvarmistuksen tarkastuskeskus


Explanation:
Olen joskus nähnyt käytettävän tätä ilmausta, joka mielestäni kuvaa hyvin mistä on kyse ja kuka sen tekee. Sairaaloilla täytyy lakisääteisesti olla laadunvarmistus ja jonkun täytyy tarkastaa, että laadunvarmistuksen toimenpiteet ovat oikein ja riittävät ja sitä varten on perustettu tällainen virallinen julkishallinnollinen tarkastuskeskus

Yes, laadunvarmistus indeed means quality assurance but two longer terms laadunvarmistuksen tarkastuskeskus are not better than one! Laaduntarkkailukeskus translates Quality Assurance Review Center well

If you take each word literally, then you have problems. Believe me, the meaning of the word "assurance" is contained in laaduntarkkailu.

The only difference is in the number of words, believe me

Notes to answerer
Asker: Somehow, I disagree with this definition. The term QA (laadunvarmistus) is exist

Asker:

Asker: ... is exists, and I do not think that the word "assurance" should be omitted. But I am not sure should I use "tarkkailu- or tarkastuskeskus? Kiitos, Desmond!

Asker: If the meaning of the word "assurance" is contained in laaduntarkkailu, does it also means that "Quality Assurance Review Center" and "Quality Review Center" are similar? Thank you.
