1. Retention of staff is enhanced
2. Staff can utilize the new technology effectively
3. Client satisfaction with care is enhanced

Rationale: The correct answer is "client care outcomes are improved.". The bottom line for the implementation of new systems should always be the improvement of client care, based on measurable outcomes. Other issues such as client satisfaction, staff retention, and efficient use of the technology are good, but they do not target the main issue.
