I have worked at three different organizations for the past 12 years and not one of these hospitals did we do physicals. We call it a New Hire Screening and we do the very things you list in your post.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MCOH-EH] Post Offer New Hire Physical
Has anyone stopped doing physicals for new hires (other than below)? We are considering doing a brief questionnaire, titers, immunizations, UDS, color vision for
those doing POCT, respirator clearance, and fit testing There may be state requirements

There may be state requirements for some, but is anyone aware of a federal requirement to do more?
