Narrative:

Approximately 15 minutes after departure; we received an EICAS message right engine hydraulic pump and right engine hydraulic pump low pressure light on overhead panel. I ran the QRH procedure; which was to turn right engine hydraulic pump switch off. End of procedure. We then called maintenance via radio for further information regarding engine hydraulic pump EICAS message. After consulting with maintenance; it was determined that it was the captain's decision whether to return or continue. Considering that it was the right engine hydraulic pump and the consequences of losing the right electric pump on a cross-country flight; the captain determined that all things considered it was prudent to return.
